Biocomposite Anchors Have Greater Yield Load And Energy Compared With All-Suture Anchors In An In Vitro Ovine Infraspinatus Tendon Repair Model, Robert A. Walton, Lindsey Liuzza, Catherine Takawira, Claudia Leonardi, Mandi J. Lopez

School of Public Health Faculty Publications

Purpose: To compare tensile fatigue and strength measures of biocomposite and all-suture anchors in an ovine humerus-infraspinatus tendon model of rotator cuff repair. Methods: Infraspinatus tendons on adult ovine humeri were sharply transected at the insertion. One of each pair was assigned randomly for fixation with 2 biocomposite or all-suture anchors. Constructs were tested with 200 cycles of 20 to 70 N tensile load, and gap formation was measured at the incised tendon end every 50 cycles. They were subsequently tested to failure. Outcome measures including fatigue stiffness, hysteresis, creep, and gap formation and tensile stiffness, and yield and failure …

Primary Anastomosis With Diverting Loop Ileostomy Vs. Hartmann's Procedure For Acute Diverticulitis: What Happens After Discharge? Results Of A Nationwide Analysis, Arturo J. Rios Diaz, Lisa A. Bevilacqua, Theodore E. Habarth-Morales, Alicja Zalewski, David Metcalfe, Caitlyn Costanzo, Charles J. Yeo, Francesco Palazzo

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend resection with primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy over Hartmann's procedure if deemed safe for acute diverticulitis. The primary objective of the current study was to compare the utilization of these strategies and describe nationwide ostomy closure patterns and readmission outcomes within 1 year of discharge.

METHODS: This was a retrospective, population-based, cohort study of United States Hospitals reporting to the Nationwide Readmissions Database from January 2011 to December 2019. There were 35,774 patients identified undergoing non-elective primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy or Hartmann's procedure for acute diverticulitis. Rates of ostomy closure, unplanned readmissions, and …

The Clinical Implications Of Kras Mutations And Variant Allele Frequencies In Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, Faria Nusrat, Akshay Khanna, Aditi Jain, Wei Jiang, Harish Lavu, Charles Yeo, Wilbur Bowne, Avinoam Nevler

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

The KRAS proto-oncogene is a major driver of pancreatic tumorigenesis and is nearly ubiquitously mutated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). KRAS point mutations are detected in over 90% of PDAC cases, and these mutations have been shown to be associated with worse therapy response and overall survival. Pathogenic KRAS mutations are mostly limited to codons 12, 13 and 61, with G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D accounting for approximately 95% of the mutant cases. Emerging data have shown the importance of specific mutant subtypes, as well as KRAS variant allele frequency on clinical prognosis. Furthermore, novel technologies and therapies are …

Comparison Of Prehospital Finger Thoracostomy And Needle Thoracostomy Performed By Ground Emergency Medical Services, Angelo Ciaraglia, Alison Smith, Benjamin Axtman, Brian Eastridge, Ronald Stewart, Susannah Nicholson, Donald Jenkins

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Introduction: Tension pneumothorax related to chest trauma is a rapidly lethal condition that requires immediate treatment, often prior to arrival at definitive ca.re. Recent concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of needle thoracostomy (NT) have led to alternatives. Finger thoracostomy (FT) is a potential life-sav­ing treatment performed by prehospital providers as an alternative to NT. We hypothesize that FT has improved rates of prehospital thoracic decompression and is a safe alternative to NT. Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive adult trauma patients presenting to a Level 1 trauma center who sustained chest trauma. A matched cohort of patients …

Effect Of Aspirin Versus Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin Thromboprophylaxis On Medication Satisfaction And Out-Of-Pocket Costs: A Secondary Analysis Of A Randomized Clinical Trial, Nathan N O'Hara, Katherine P Frey, Deborah M Stein, Joseph F Levy, Gerard P Slobogean, Renan Castillo, Reza Firoozabadi, Madhav A Karunakar, Joshua L Gary, William T Obremskey, Rachel B Seymour, Joseph Cuschieri, C Daniel Mullins, Robert V O'Toole, Metrc

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend low-molecular-weight heparin for thromboprophylaxis after orthopaedic trauma. However, recent evidence suggests that aspirin is similar in efficacy and safety. To understand patients' experiences with these medications, we compared patients' satisfaction and out-of-pocket costs after thromboprophylaxis with aspirin versus low-molecular-weight heparin.

METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis of the PREVENTion of CLots in Orthopaedic Trauma (PREVENT CLOT) trial, conducted at 21 trauma centers in the U.S. and Canada. We included adult patients with an operatively treated extremity fracture or a pelvic or acetabular fracture. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 30 mg of low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin) …
